What do you like best about walking and/or running?
It feels good to get my body moving. My husband and I usually take a long walk at least four times a week so it’s fun to be together.
What are some tips you have about eating a healthy diet?
Try not to center your life around food. I think as Americans we talk and think about food waaaay too much. Seeing people in developing countries who eat two meals a day changes your perspective. They see food as something they need, but not as something they think about when they are depressed, or need to celebrate or plan weeks in advance.
Your favorite place in the world you have walked/run/hiked:
We hiked Machu Piccu on a glorious sunny day, loved our bike ride through Harlem and had an amazing hike up a volcano in Peru where we jumped over flowing lava and then slid down the mountain on pulverized lava.
Anything else interesting about you: Love to travel to the extent I have no need for a “regular” house. Am happiest when I’m traveling or exploring some place I’ve never been before. We spent last Christmas helping at a nursing home run by Guatemalan nuns in the remote jungles of Costa Rica. No presents but a great experience.
